Free Quilting Pattern

Free Quilting Patterns

This site’s name gets right to the point. At Free Quilt Patterns you will find links to nearly 900 sites offering free patterns. The link list is updated regularly so the links are always current.

A great feature of this site is that in addition to links, it explains what kind of patterns are featured on each site, so you don’t have to click on a lot of links that won’t help you if you know you’re looking for a particular thing.

There are also a wide range of quilting styles featured on this site, from blocks to appliqué, crazy quilts to mystery quilts, small projects and wall hangings to rag quilts and T-shirt quilts.

Quilter’s Cache

An embarrassment of riches for quilters can be found on the quilt block pages at Quilter’s Cache. This site has nearly 50 pages of directions for quilt blocks of all sorts of sizes and degrees of difficulty.

Not all of these patterns include instructions for making the block into a full-sized quilt, but that adds to the fun because you can choose a block, decide how many you need to make the size of quilt you want, add borders and make a truly customized quilt. Or build your own sampler by picking a dozen blocks that you like and combining them into one quilt.

This site makes building samplers easy because you can browse the patterns based on the size of the finished block. That way, you can pick a bunch of patterns that make 12-inch blocks and it will be simple to line them up and make a quilt out of a bunch of different patterns.

The size of blocks offered ranges from one inch to about 32 inches, so you can truly make a quilt of any size using the instructions offered here. Or just browse the pages and see what strikes your fancy.

Free Quilt

Free Quilt offers a good basic selection of free quilting patterns. Patterns are divided by motif, so if you’re really wanting to do a cat quilt, you can find the patterns easily.

This site also offers patterns and instructions for miniature quilts and appliqué techniques, if those are things you are interested in or want to learn more about.

The selection here is not huge, but it is very well organized so you will be able to find what you want (if they have it) very quickly.

Joann

Joann is a great general crafts store, and the company’s website has a bunch of great craft ideas. The quilting section offers quilts as well as other projects involving quilting, such as stockings, shirts and pillows.

Christmas Quilts

If you’re looking for quilting crafts specifically for Christmas, visit Christmas Craft Freebies. This site links to a bunch of Christmas-themed quilts and projects, from a 12 days of Christmas quilt to table runners, wreaths and tree skirts. You could decorate your whole house in Christmas quilts with the patterns from this site!

Quilting with a Passion

Another good collection of general patterns can be found at Quilting with a Passion. This alphabetical list includes some traditional patterns, outlines of all the U.S. states, and several holiday-related patterns.

Also be sure to check out the free pattern page, which links to other sites including a total of more than 2,000 free patterns.

All Crafts

Even more interesting quilting projects can be found at All Crafts. Again, these are links from around the web. There are great links to information about how to quilt and other techniques here, too, so you will learn a lot by browsing through these links.

Quilt.com

One of the oldest quilting sites on the web, Quilt.com offers a wide variety of quilt blocks arranged by type (nine patch, seven patch, four patch, etc.) or in an alphabetical list.

Each block is illustrated in color and the instructions are very detailed, making it easy to follow along even with the more complicated blocks. Again, these are patterns for individual blocks, which you can combine as you like to make pillows, wall hangings, quilts and more.

Scrap Quilts

Once you’ve been quilting for a little while, you are bound to end up with a stash of scraps. Check out Scrap Quilts for a bunch of ideas for ways to use those scraps that are beautiful as well as thrifty.

Looking at all these different sites, you are sure to become inspired and come up with a bunch of different quilts you want to try. So get out there and quilt something!
